well, i was trying to get my record cleared today so i talked to a police officer friend of my. it turns out, the situation is alot better than i’ve been told. even if you’ve been fingerprinted…if you’ve been fingerprinted because of something you did as a minor, your record can be expunged when your 18. however, you have to have a reason to have your record sealed or expunged (job application request if you have been arrested, school has requested if you have been arrested). if you are appealing in court for precautionary measures than they will decline your request to have your record expunged. my advice, when your 18, go around looking for job applications that ask if you’ve ever been arrested (it doesn’t matter if you plan on taking that job or not). than explain to the court that your desire to acquire this job has caused you to request your records be expunged from the court. it will cost $100, but your request will be granted.

there are two ways you can seal a record. one is to expunge it. one is to seal it. if you expunge it, it’ll be gone, over, finito for the rest of your life. if you have it sealed…a court order in the future can bring it back up. my recommendation, get it expunged.

anyways , goodluck.
